[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have met Chesterbrook parents who are at Haycock because they wanted the center experience and peer set.  The renovation will be going on for a couple of years so that might offset this.  I have to laugh about Haycock being elitist when most Chesterbrook families live in $1M-$3M houses.  [/quote]

I thought it was clear from my post, but apparently not.  I didn't mean economically elitist.  Clearly, the area feeding into Chesterbrook is wealthier.  I meant elitist with respect to intelligence and academics.  The AAP kids at Haycock see themselves as different (and I dare say better) than the Gen Ed kids and I think the school fosters that.  This attitude can make it difficult if you have an AAP and a non-AAP child in the same family.  Also, I just don't think it's a good attitude to have for life in general.  We all have to deal with people that are less intelligent than us or less talented in other ways.  As a life skill, it is important to learn how to do that.  I feel like Haycock could do better in this respect.  As I said, the program is great and there is a lot to like about it.  This is an issue that strikes me.  It may not be important to others.[/quote]
